KJV

Lo, mine eye hath seen all [this], mine ear hath heard and understood it.

KJV

What ye know, [the same] do I know also: I [am] not inferior unto you.

KJV

Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.

KJV

But ye [are] forgers of lies, ye [are] all physicians of no value.

KJV

O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.

KJV

Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.

KJV

Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?

KJV

Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?

KJV

Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye [so] mock him?

KJV

He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.

KJV

Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?

KJV

Your remembrances [are] like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.

KJV

Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what [will].

KJV

Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?

KJV

Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.

KJV

He also [shall be] my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.

KJV

Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.

KJV

Behold now, I have ordered [my] cause; I know that I shall be justified.

KJV

Who [is] he [that] will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.

KJV

Only do not two [things] unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.

KJV

Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.

KJV

Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.

KJV

How many [are] mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.

KJV

Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?

KJV

Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?

KJV

For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.

KJV

Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.

KJV

And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.
